Honduras' new generation showing CONCACAF giants the way at Rio 2016

Reigning Olympic champion Mexico is still licking its wounds after a group stage exit at Rio 2016 and the United States never even got to pack its bags for the men's football tournament. Instead, it is Honduras that keeps the CONCACAF flag flying high, while the confederation's traditional giants wonder where it all went wrong.


Such negative thoughts are a long way away for a Honduran team that will look to make history on Wednesday with an shock victory over hosts Brazil in the semifinal at the Maracana, the spiritual home of Brazilian soccer.

"We are going to keep bringing joy to the Honduran people, who deserve it in one way or another," said Honduras coach Jorge Luis Pinto after defeating Korea Republic 1-0 in the quarterfinal. "Football is everything [in Honduras] and we are doing everything possible."
